Ingredients
Scale
Crust
- 1 cup graham cracker crumbs
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
Filling
- 16 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 tbsp pink food coloring
Topping
- 1/2 cup whipped cream
- Sprinkles (optional)
Instructions
- Prepare the crust: In a medium bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, granulated sugar, and melted butter. Mix thoroughly until the mixture is evenly moist.
- Form the crust base: Press the crumb mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9-inch square baking dish, ensuring it’s compacted well to create a sturdy crust layer.
- Beat cream cheese: In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with an electric mixer on medium speed until smooth and creamy.
- Add filling ingredients: Add powdered sugar, heavy cream, vanilla extract, and pink food coloring to the cream cheese. Continue beating until the mixture is fully combined and fluffy, achieving a uniform pink color.
- Assemble the cheesecake: Spread the cheesecake filling evenly over the prepared crust, smoothing the surface with a spatula.
- Chill until set: Place the baking dish in the refrigerator and chill for at least 4 hours or until the filling is firm and set.
- Add toppings and serve: Once set, top the cheesecake with whipped cream and sprinkle with optional sprinkles. Cut into bite-sized squares and serve chilled.
Notes
- Ensure the cream cheese is softened to room temperature for a smooth filling without lumps.
- If you prefer, substitute the pink food coloring with natural beet juice for a natural color alternative.
- Keep the cheesecake bites refrigerated until serving to maintain their firmness and freshness.
- You can prepare these bites up to 24 hours in advance for convenience.
- For a lighter option, substitute heavy cream with whipped topping, but texture may slightly differ.
